Abby Wambach, World Cup champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and
longtime U.S. Women's soccer team captain, delivers an inspiring middle
grade memoir for young readers, FORWARD: MY STORY. Soccer star Wambach
details her life and her recent jump into the limelight, in her own
words, speaking from the heart.
From growing up as the youngest of seven in upstate New York to scoring
more international goals than any other player in soccer history (184
goals, 77 of which were headers!), she has remained a passionate player
and a champion, not only in soccer, but for women's rights and equal
opportunity. It's a story of passion, of finding her identity, of
failure and success. And of course, it's a story about soccer, and it
boils down to one question: with everything that life throws at you, how
do you keep moving the ball forward?
